A 47-year-old male with L3–4 vertebral tuberculosis underwent intervertebral surgery by combined posterior-anterior approaches. The preoperative images (a X-ray, b CT reconstruction and c MRI) showeddestruction of the L3–4 intervertebral space and nerve compression. Postoperative X-ray (d, e), 64 months after surgery, showed that intervertebral fixation was excellent, and the L3 vertebrae are fixed with short pedicle screws and CT reconstruction (f) illustrated that L3–4 vertebral tuberculosis was completely cured, bone graft fusion and no obvious correction angle loss with good fixation position
